‘Heads-up’ PlayStation Store update, 23rd January 2013

The Cave is one to look out for this week. Gather your squad of explorers and descend deep into the abyss in this gorgeous looking adventure title from the creative minds at Double Fine Productions.

Elsewhere on the Store this week, discover the uniquely treacherous world of Demon’s Souls in a digital release of the much-loved RPG.

Join Isaac Clarke and John Carver in co-op play in a demo of Dead Space 3. Play solo, or try out drop-in-drop-out co-op action with a friend.

Also, one of my most anticipated games has a demo today! Slice and dice your enemies (and environment) or stealth it out in the insanely fun Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo.

PlayStation Store is also holding a Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Sale where you can expect up to 50% off, so grab yourself that missing title from your collection. Chris has all the juicy details in his recent post.

I read what you said last week about Crash Bash and agree, it needs to be on the store, to complete the all conquering Crash Bandicoot collection.

We need your help to get Crash Bash , so please do some of your amazing drawings to help out as jawad likes these, like you did with Spyro and that will keep jawad encouraged and motivated to work and eventually release Crash Bash on to the store.

Jawad

P.S Jawad, what is going on with Crash Bash anyway, last I heard is that you said “I’ll look into it once more” so any updates on this?

No avatars today?
Can live with it – finally can play MGR demo (finally some good hack’n’slash game in past years). And waitin’ for my NiNoKuni.
Hm, selling DS in store is a good choice. Perhaps more people will play this awesome game (one of the best if not the best games of this (pretty bad) generation).

There is also avatars for DmC, The Cave, more from Planets Under Attack, some DJ like ones, Disgea, Legislita (Spelling?) and your usual non-gaming avatars of themes which are on the store which are boring me.

@GraFGrizzli: Yes there are Avatars and Themes released today! There are a handful DmC Avatars and a few new themes. I’d browse the Web Store and filter both categories by New releases first if you’re looking for anything in particular

@Sisee Book a Shadows is a sequel to Corpse party. And as you can see it’s mostly unavailable where original is sold.
And SCEE should pad updates with previously released titles by making them available in all countries, unless law prevents that.

What a very poor content for this week… Demo’s get boring after a while & we are lacking for what was a very good deal for Plus members last year & the Instant gaming collection.. Pinball on the Vita isn’t my cup of tea & the Vita thus far isn’t getting much content to warrant this handheld value for money.. Please can we get better deals on full games & not over priced games in the Store for which can be purchased at your local gaming stores..

I’m here just to give you some further feedback – read, an improved wishlist. Aside from the ones I’ve asked for last week (Crash Bash, Chocobo Racing, Hogs Of War and Destrega), I’d like to add the first Marvel Vs. Capcom, as it got a PSOne release back in the day. Sure, don’t take it as anything more than the wishlist it’s supposed to be – it’s just that either one of these games is something that I’d love to play on my PSP for one reason or another, as I’ve been glad to be able to do with the Spyro games.

We got the first Corpse Party on the South African store so why are we not getting the sequel Corpse Party: Book Of Shadows? Also any word if SCEE can maybe release Sumioni: Demon Arts & Orgarhythm for PS Vita in South Africa?

Well we got RCR last week chapeau! but CS:GO anyone!!!!!! Doodle god limitation is beyond reason. You all do know the app on ios and Android is widely available no? Why the restriction on the psn game?? can someone at Sony or play station EU clarify this dichotomy

1. Demons Souls – Is the online still active from a technical standpoint? I thought they turned the servers off already.
2. Doodle God – Pricing is a bit steep compared to other portable platforms? Who set the pricing on this?

@Grimm-Preacher Seen that list – Australia, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, India, Kuwait, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, Ukraine, UAE – I can guarantee that none of those will see Persona 4 Golden, Ragnarok Odyssey, Soul Sacrifice or any Vita game worth mentioning in 2013. I’m willing to bet. Maybe even organize betting on the matter.

And just so you know, SCEE actually preventing them from being released. Not the other way around.
No wonder staff don’t comment. What would they write? “F you all?” “We will release those games 6-12 months later in those countries. Maybe.”.

I’ve read your comment only now. Let’s just say that, as much of an important title as Crash Bash is, it’d be a lot worse if one of the Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot games was the one we were waiting for, rather than Crash Bash. Crash Bandicoot 2 getting released here was kind of like a hopeful ray of light shining through the clouds; the Spyro Trilogy outright blew the clouds away. Now my faith in the European Classics’ selection is fully restored (and, even aside from the games I’m interested in… Symphony Of The Night getting released here is wow-worthy. The 12-12-12 update was nothing short of MEMORABLE).

I don’t supposed anyone here can confirm 100% that Ratchet and Clank QForce is indeed coming to the UK/EU the same day as America? (January 29th). It’s a game I’ve been waiting a while for and I don’t especially want to wait another 2 months like I am with Sly.

Not bad I guess.
I’m positively surprised to see Borderlands 2 skins DLC right off the bat in Europe.
But I have a question too, about Final Fantasy sale – in original post it’s stated it will run for one week only, but in store it’s actually till 06 Feb (read: 2 weeks) Which one is correct, cause my credit card could use some rest after Christmas

Any chance on a discount for the original corpse party since the sequel has just been released in the EU store?
Also I know a lot of people are still hoping we get some more US imports of PS1 classics such as:
Legend Of Dragoon
Parasite Eve 1
Chrono Cross
Chrono Trigger
Dino Crisis 2

– why is Singstar icon still in XMB?
– why your company didn’t act for nearly three months?
– why we didn’t get any meaningful answer?
– why customer support act like some firewall for uncomfortable questions?
– why you still ***** out with us?
– why i could even bother with Sony products now?
– what could stop me from taking some radical solutions?

1) Could you ask BBC Worldwide if they’d be willing to discount The Eternity Clock on the Vita and PS3 in the run-up to the return of Doctor Who on the 30th of March? I have the PS3 version but don’t fancy paying twice for what is basically the same game. A nice 50% discount (at £3.99) would be nice.

2) Any idea as to when Resident Evil 2 will be working on Vita?

3) Is there any chance of asking EA if they’ll discount some ME3 single player dlc?

Hi can I just start off by apologising to everyone for last weeks joke,it was of bad taste and I’m very sorry,hi Jawad any news on ratchet n clack q force download for ps vita as it was surpose to come out in January.and news on dawnguard as well please.thanks

To all asking about Qforce – it was (un-)clearly “mentioned” already in December here in blog post about PS3 version that the Vita version will be available at “early 2013″ so I wouldn’t hold much hope for having it this (or even following two) month …

I know we where told this week, but I was really hoping, “This week” would mean today, the PSN Update day for Skyrim DLC. I would like to play the dlc, I would even pay full DLC price, fed up of Bethesda lying to us, for so long.

By the way is there any plans of making a 1 hour Trial version of Demons Souls ive always been interested in this game series but like many im probably scared to dash out dough for it even though the price is reasonable for the game by now. But the game is known for its difficulty it should be a game where you can try a demo or trial for first

What a surprise. My question gets skipped. Again. The same as the last god knows how many times I’ve asked.
The Blacksmith Pack is available on XBLA, & Steam (and has been for months, at least). It’s even been in the PSN Asia Store (although I don’t know whether it still is). So we know it exists, and that it’s ready on Playstation format. What we don’t know is why it wasn’t released in our regions, or whether we’re ever going to get it.

When are we going to get the update list with file size’s included it was mentioned some time ago that you would start doing this especially for Vita content!! Its not that hard and it is very very handy to know before hand!!!!!!

So, what are the chances of getting some more PS1 games for the Vita/PS3?

GTA1/London/2 or instance, get some of the Strike Series up like Soviet and Nuclear, both are on the US store but I can’t remember if they work on Vita, also, Future Cop is on the store, any chance that will be playable on the Vita at some point?

The demon’s souls servers still seem to be online. Just recently finished it a few weeks ago and there was still plenty of bloodstains, messages and ghosts. I’m pretty sure none of those appear when not connected to the servers.

Loads of content this week WooT totally gonna get deadspace! Splicin some alien ass in 2(see what i did there:) on a side not maaannn u made me happy for a bit metal gear revengeance with a vita below it! damn uuu!

1 week has passed, and we still haven’t got Wake Up Club. SCEE what is going on?!? I mean really, is it that hard to release the app over in the EU as well? I am tired of these delays, like seriously what is going on?!

What happened to the PS+ freebies?? And since we are here, why Alice: Madness returns is more expensive in the EU PS+ than in the US Store with no discount? And this before converting the Euro to the USD. Come on guys, give us a break! The European prices are simply ridiculous!

@81
Walking dead is ma15+ in au.
It would seem games arent being refused as i previously suspected,they arent even being submitted at all. Not that it surprises me or bothers me, it is interesting though…

Who knows how it all works but if you are a small dev and costs are high for submitting game..you want to be confident of selling the game and making money back.

Hi Jawad know your busy but you wouldnt happen to know if theres any chance of getting suikoden as a ps1 classic. US stores had it a while and unfortunately when i message Konami they first ignored me and then said they couldnt comment on POSSIBLE futre releases (although the message seemed very generic and cookies cutter so not taking the pharase possible future release as a sign of anything), thanks for your time and understand if you cant provide info.

Hello again Jawad. Last time I asked (2-4 months ago) about the possibility for including Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack into the store the response was a bit negative side at the time. Any changes regarding that? Still interested at getting it.

#141&142 i have asked it in total 4 times and they said 2 weeks back:u dont need to wait too long for the demo,well now i just want it on EU store and if it doesnt comes before the 29th than i will download it from US store when it goes public,i just want it on vita so plz Jawad make it come true!!!!

I am sick and tired of the bs europe store and the customer service, every f***** week ask you guys what the hell is going on with guilty gear accent core plus, but questions those are ignored however when it comes to 1st party title question you guys hop on those peoples d***s or if its call of duty questions those questions are instantly answered because you dont want to upset the majority of the sony users however gamers like myself have our questions ignored because the title isn’t popular. This f***** game has been out for months in all regions besides europe and on xbox live its realeased worldwide, i dont see it being the publishers fault as its released everywhere on xbox live, its a sony europe problem, get your f***** s*** together.

Do wonder if I get a response anytime.. (Almost no reason to alter text, whit the lack of response)
Cant you guys play nice whis NIS and get the games and DLC here? or atleast let UK accounts gift those games to us in the not avavible countries?
Is the NIS not getting to release DLC in Scandinavia still secret?
Still not seeing Disgaea 3 on the Vita..
Or is it that the SCEE is stupid enough to demand native language descriptions on dlc when most countries in EU have a rather good grasp of english.
(Pretty sure its been close to confirmed that this is the issue)
Next point, when will the following PSP games be avavible on the Store? The ones whit (VITA) is not vita compatible. Sideloading thru PS3 do not make a game vita compatible in this list.
Final Fantasy Crisis Core
Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone Complex
Invizimals
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleap
PoPoLoCrois
Tales of Eternia
Tales of the World Radiant Mythology
Thrillville
Valkyria Chronicles 2 (Not Vita Compatible)
Valkyrie Profile Lenneth
Third:
Cross Region Gifting. WHEN?

Good morning, all. On our US store, we got the Demon’s Souls digital a couple weeks back and Atlus, which publishes the game in our territory, not only has kept the servers going, but gave us a one week Pure White world tendency for one week, to welcome the new release. I’m still playing and happy to report that there were many online players who left many messages on the ground. All the newbies seem pretty generous in recommending messages, too. So yes, come back or jump in now. Still one of the greatest games I ever played and a crowning jewel of PS3 exclusives.

I understand, that it is impossible to release the Dust 514 Beta for free in Germany because of the law, but why don’t you use the PS+ trick as with the Silent Hill: Book of Memories demo?
Make it available for free for PS+ users. PS+ users had to buy a subscription, so they are already confirmed to be at least 18 years old.

Hi Jawad, the American store got LBP Karting for ten dollars this week, madness! We got jack! also, Psychonauts NEEDS to come to the EU store, one of the few games I missed out on that I’d love to play…

How long will it take until the PC site for the Final Fantasy sale starts working instead of a loading bar loop? There is no information about the sale on the Vita at all – I don’t want to search for each game manually.

“Posted on 23 January, 2013 at 3:04 pm by awwe_se
New Vita games this week has also this insane country limitations, same as last week.
“Not available in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey”
And no news of Playstation Mobile in Sweden…
That’s it.
It’s over now.
Selling my PSVITA as quickly as possible. Have lost my faith.
SCEE is ruining PSVITA in Europe”

Another boo coming from The Netherlands. Does Sony want the PSVita to die or something?

ok i pre ordered Ni no kuni last week which isnt released till 1st feb , you guys havent taken any cash outa my account BUT im currently downloading a 6 gb file called Ni no kuni ?? is it the full game or some fk up by you guys?

THIS ISN’T FUNNY! I have £15 of content in my basket PLUS WHAT’s COMING IN THE VITA SALE!
THANKYOU, THIS IS THE STORE I LIKE TO SEE!
I’ve caught JUst Cause Fever with a bit of Dark Souls DLC on the side.

Dear Jawad ,
now, im gonna ask u a question about a game,, that ALL OF U forgotten. It calls C O U N T E R S T R I K E : G L O B A L O F F E N S I V E ! u remember? this game that was released MONTHS ago and ONLY FOR THIS GAME no one of u ever said something about the final european release… my 20 euro psn card is nearly rotten because i dont know whats the actuall stand! So i please u, jawad, to give me, US new infos? u dont know the release date? OK! BUT SAY WHATS THE ACTUELL STAND! im soo disappointed! Evrything gets a release… ALSO SKYRIM! SKYRIM MAN! say evrything u know abot cs go! We want to know it! ME and thousands of other players.
ps: no information isnt a answer…

@Dosentortellini; ” No information isnt a answer…” So, just to be clear, you’d prefer he makes something up just to satisfy your desire of an answer, inevitability leading to disappointment, in turn generating a backlash from the community then ending up asking the original question again? Really?

Quick question: If I activate that my password is needed during the checkout of a purchase my PS3 complains that the entered password is wrong. The same password (multiple tries from different persons) works perfectly on the Vita and store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com. Is this a know problem or a fault on my side? Maybe somebody can look into that bug and fix it.

Is there going to be any offers on the DCUO DLC as it is second year anniversary?
Is there ever going to be a reply to my questions I ask every month about information on Jade Cocoon release on PSN in EU (especially as it has been out five years in Japan and what better time to put it up on the store along with Ni No Kuni both which had members from Studio Ghibli work on the titles)?
I agree with everyone comment on how the Classics and Retro games aren’t being released on PSN such as Digimon World, etc.

Well, shave my back and call me a fairy. Corpse party is available in Russia! Granted, it’s not properly placed into C category, but you can find it via search. Unexpected, SCEE, you gained a sliver of my trust back. I’ll be sure to notify my russian friends who loved the original that sequel is there tomorrow.
Funny thing, the whole story of this game is quite similar to russian urban myths that are common among schoolchildren. Well, last time I checked on my niece they haven’t changed much since I was in high school. Maybe this kind of myths are not so different between Japanese and Russian…

Now, may I point out that requirement for description in Russian language is dumb? We’re fine with English ones, description mentions that game supports English language only and that’s enough. Stop demanding translation of description for games that come in English and stop delaying releases because of that.

Also, I may have been harsh in previous posts, but look at it my way – I’ve convinced several of my friends in Russia to buy a Vita. Now you make me look like a saboteur of sorts on a regular basis…
Well, except one dude who made a Japanese account for Vita, he’s fine. I’d do the same, but my current account at this point costs more than a PS3 an a Vita combined. Too late to jump ship. And Vita supports only 1 account.

it was a mistake when I bought ps +? Why? all what I want can be found in the library… in (in finland) libraries can be found over 60 games which was published in 2012…There is assassins creed 3, Hitman Absolution, black ops 2, F1 2012, wrc 2012, Max payne 3, wwe 13, nba 2k13, far cry 3 and much more. here is the link

here in store there are always same games. Now there are just cause 2, and deus ex…Deus ex was in xmas sale and just cause was for free a little while back. And next week there are maybe mafia 2 and blaaa blaaa blaaa. And what we get for free, well bioshock 2, vanquish, RDR….Old games. In 2012 you said that ps vita sale are coming soon and now the year is 2013 :O…This was my first time and also my last time when i bought a ps+!!

Every week I read the comments and every week it’s just people moaning about how bad Sony are an how they seem to owe them a favour. Ask a sensible question and you might just get a sensible answer. Show a bit of respect and you might just get a response. Sure, I would like to know when Q Force is getting a Vita release and if we will ever get Parapa the Rapper released as a PSOne Classic, but I’m not going to throw my toys out of the pram trying to get the answer. All good things will come to those who wait. But please, will you all cut Jawad and the others a break as they are the messenger and do not deserve the abuse that is given to them (you can tell they are passionate about their jobs and how much they want to help and give you the answers you want, but sometimes they just can’t. They all show so much restraint when responding to you ungrateful bunch of brats, I know I would have lost my job a long time ago if I had to respond to some of your posts). I have ample games for my Vita and PS3, thank you Sony. I love PS+ and the value it gives to both consoles. I don’t expect the earth but what I do get I am grateful for, even though I am paying a subscription for it.

I got Ratchet & Clank: Q-force on ps3 for Christmas last year and i redeemed the disc so i can get the cross buy deal and it said that the vita version will be released in January and its nearly the end of January! So where is the vita version? I have not completed it cause i wanted to do that on the vita. So where is it?

Also on another note, i won the weekend debate (recent one) and just out of curiosity. When am i supposed to have the game at my door? (just wondering)

So again, it’s an absolutely TERRIBLE week to be a Vita owner, and an Australian. One Vita release which judging by the comments on the post specifically about Doodle God, is another overpriced port of a phone game.

The Corpse Party games would have been nice to own, except Xseed releases them to western audiences, and they’re totally worthless. Any time you bring up them making the effort to get more profit and release their games in Australia, they whine like babbies about the fees to get a game classified here. Because they would totally never make back the LESS THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS IT COSTS. If business is so bad for them that under $500 is going to break the bank, they should die off now, so somebody who’s actually interested in releasing games to everyone can have a shot.

Don’t know if this is right place, but checked the PSN store today. Few of my games which I have bought previously, are saying now I can buy them. Exited the store, went back on, and now more games I have already bought are like this.
I can still download them from my download list, so no worries.
But still would like to know what’s happening

Just posting here seeing as it’s about the store update, and this just happened today.

Can you PLEASE cut down on all the non-game avatars and themes? It’s a chore going through them all in each update when all I’m interested in is game content. It’s the PSN equivalent of browsing through a DS section in a store; I’m looking for Castlevania but all I’ve got to go through mountain loads of “My Petz”, “Babiez” and all that other shovelware to get there. And that’s exactly what those terrible themes/avatars are, shovelware.

And uh, Dead Space 3 and Metal Gear Rising demos, not the full games. Might want to change that in the update.

I might well be in the UK, but I don’t waste my time looking at and waiting for content from USA who seem to get stuff before we do. I’m not interested in looking longingly and what I can’t have. I’m 36, I’ve learnt how to be patient and wait for the things I want rather than behaving like the truculent children the majority of you come across as. Sooner or later it will get a release, in the mean time I’ll play something else.

Does anyone know why I can’t post comments using the iPhone app even though I’m logged in?

Is there something wrong with the ps store?
I enter and as soon as it loads it just stays there as if my controller is dead.
The controller and PS3 work fine otherwise. I can’t do anything in the store. There is no input.

Hello Jawad, would there ever be a chance for Street fighter alpha 3 to come on PSN? It was out on PS1. Alpha 1 & 2 are out on ps classics & even 3rd strike is out on the store but Alpha 3 was my favourite. Any chance? Thanks

How come since the maintenance on the 23 that all my game take forever to log in and never stop glitching and jumping and my ps3 seems to have less signal going to it, even though nothing has changed in my set up?

This is getting ridiculous now, it’s one of the most requested games to be put in the PS1 classic’s section (I question what Sony considers a classic with a lot of the games that are there) for years and the USA has had it for over 8 months!

Please don’t say there are localisation issues as Sony published the game in Europe themselves! Give us the USA version if you have to!

I’m sorry if this comes across as rude but I (like many people) am sick of waiting for this game while being told “we are looking in to it” every time the game is asked for. It shouldn’t need looking into, it’s a Sony made game, a Sony published game and Sony own the rights to the IP.

I know this comment is going to be over looked by Jawad and his goons but I’ll rant anyway.
What is the problem with releasing vita games in Australia? More than half of the games that have been released in the past few weeks haven’t been available here. We ar paying customers as well, in fact we payed more than the US. I would expect better service than this if the vita was free. Why should I support sony when they can’t even deliver what other regions are getting?

Hey Jawad,
I asked Fred in another post about whether Ni No Kuni would still be made available to people who pre-ordered (or not) the game on the PS Store for download on the 25th, and he said he’d look into it but never replied.

Can you answer this? Will it be available on the Store on the 25th or 1st of Feb?

@205 I have issues using the app to post aswell, have to use my phones browser and I have a galaxy s3 so I think its a bit of a glitch in the app but oh well

I have to disagree with you though on the whole cutting sony some slack… I also live in the uk but I sympathise so much with those who don’t (unless they’re in the u.s of course haha). Even though it doesn’t affect me its extremely depressing to check this post every week and see a huge list under nearly every game of not avaiable here or there or damn well anywhere but the uk and as such I can understand why anyone living outside the uk gets pretty bloody angry at the team each week. Even living in the uk its easy to find stuff to complain about.

Although I will admit mostly its not the blog teams fault, its the higher ups however: 214 posts from member opposed to 22 replies. If Jawad is too busy to reply then shouldn’t there be a dedicated “replyer”? Id happily do that if there was some access to juicy release dates I’ll be honest even if theres no new information in a reply as long as its polite I feel much better and a bit calmer for a bit haha, that would be all it would take to make people feel looked after. Treat us like the valued customers they should be.

Also noticed someone requested chocobo racing, id like to second that and add ergheiz. I was waiting forchocobo racing to be released on 3ds as was rumoured at its launch but nothing so far so please try and get it on here never had a chance to play it

Dust 514 isn’t free i repeat Dust 514 isn’t free
as i downloaded PSN Dust 514 from your psn store i entered Dust 514 says to play Dust 514 severs you must enter your PSN Email i did then a Dust 514 email was sent out to my PSN Email i go into my Email click on it then says thank you for joining Dust 514 severs we have taken £11.99 from your PayPal account for your monthly sub

How many times must I say it?
Sony( not blog pers.) is much responsible for how people react, by the way how they respond or not.

Sony has opted for separate store and not a store like ms.
1 = that it ensured that the correct language in the store on PS3 (German and French languages ​​are an insult to a Flemish person.)
2 = no more letters than the alphabet in the psn store!
3 = Europe is a continent where (sony)they are until now still do well, but if all the smal countries not to important in the eyes of sony.
Can it happen that all those small markets, which together are big is going to say by by to sony.
we find that only sony europe loves uk. Germany. Spain. France. italy. service level10 x better , come in our contri ore have same low treatment we are geting .

I only need english in games and should not wait because those few small countries ( u cal big ore love sony )above are stubborn and need al games in their language .

Ppl please be aware dead space 3demo not working i downloaded last nite after starting it my ps3 just froze then desided to shut down thought iwould give it 5mins before puting on again but ps3 will not swicth on phoned sony explained wat happened and was told i would have to pay 130 bucks to get a replacemet witch is realy not on the ps3 its self is just 13 month old also a slim 1 also i might add i realy dont play ps3 that much. So please ppl be carful about this demo. Ty for reading

The software is currently in breach of the ‘Sale of Goods and Services Act 1979′ – specifically, the goods are ‘not as described’ and ‘unfit for intended purpose’ (i.e. not compatible with the advertised DLC).

Phone customer services and point this out, they are legally obliged to refund you IMMEDIATELY. If they fail to do so, call Citizen’s Advice and lodge a complaint.

I deal with cases like these all the time, and while software is shaky ground where the law is concerned, you definately have a case here. Don’t leave it too long or you’ll lose the right to complain.

But there is only one vita game
here in store there are always same games. Now there are just cause 2, and deus ex…Deus ex was in xmas sale and just cause was for free a little while back. And next week there are maybe mafia 2 and blaaa blaaa blaaa. And what we get for free, well bioshock 2, vanquish, RDR….Old games. In 2012 you said that ps vita sale are coming soon and now the year is 2013 :O…This was my first time and also my last time when i bought a ps+!!”

And this is what you get Sony.

MANAGING EXPECTATIONS, I really can’t push this message enough. Since early December it is said EU will get a PSVita sale with deals like how USA got great PSVita Xmas deals.

We’re 2 months on in time and counting. And still the same ‘more coming soon’ answers in this blog. The definition of ‘soon’ in my book is week/weeks, not months.

So everyone saying ‘oh don’t cry so much about PSVita and deals’ either:

1. Don’t own a PSVita or don’t play it;
2. Don’t know the definition of the words ‘coming soon’.

Now WHEN the PSVita sale for EU arrives, it better be really REALLY good. And soonish too.

PUT THE GAME BACK IN THE STORE!!!!!

@Fred (if he is reading this) or even you Jawad if you can help out with this question

Is there any plans of a post this week from Elizabeth Tobey about Defiance? Or even anytime soon

3 days ago the US blog got another one from her about the limited editions they will be getting. I checked our retailers for our editions and the price just doesn’t seem to match so I don’t think we will be getting the same package. Would been nice to see her write a post like that in our blog so we know what will be in ours. Stores like GAME has listed what is in it but looks a little different. Also the ultimate edition doesn’t even mention the season pass. I have a bad feeling this will be a repeat of The Last of Us with the US getting the better stuff.

Hey there. We do have another Defiance post coming up next week (tentatively) from Trion. I don’t think it’s about the special editions, but I’m sure they will answer any questions you might have about them.

In the Plus section on the main IGC menu when you scroll to the right, JSR and Pinball Arcade has PS3 labelled down instead of PSVita as it should be. Please forward this misleading labelling to the Store team. Thanks.

It’s been quarter of a year now, since X-Box Live Arcade released the game here.
PSN has been very disappointing on this release.
PSN Japan was a week behind, PSN USA was a month behind, and PSN Europe is currently 3 months (and counting) behind…

Book of Shadows, me likey! I’ve played Blood Covered Repeated Fear through the end and thought it was excellent.

Now, Jawad, I’d like to ask a question, but I see PS3 has the Strikers 1 and 2 games, any chance we can see that old school shooter on the Vita? I keep going back to Strikers 1945 II on my PS2 and play it for ages.

Hi Jawad
I hope you can reply. My question: Is there any chance you guys could do a discount on the HD trilogies for Sly, Ratchet & Jak? I know it is very doubtful but I’d really like to get my hands on them again but I’d like to get them digitally.
I also have a few other questions which I hope you could answer:
1. Is there any news on the prices for the Skyrim DLC?
2. Is there any news on Ratchet Deadlocked HD?
3. I seen that somebody mentioned it here but is there any chance we may see Jak X on the store soon?
4. Do you think there is any chance of plus members getting free PS1/PS2 games?
5. I know this is probably like the 25th time its been asked but is there any news on the demo for Sly 4?
Thank you very much for the store update and I hope to hear back. Enjoy your day.

Got to say the Dead Space3 demo is excellent, i was a little worried about co-op ruining the exp But it only adds to it, i was counting down the weeks till release but can not wait, after the demo.. just hope the challange is same as two’s was. that 3 saves only playthrough Has to be in my top 10 gaming experience’s ever, two more weeks and will see what the full game brings. but am 100% sure it’s gonna be either as good Or better than last two.

You might want to update the exclusion list on Corpse Party: Book of Shadows. It sure ain’t available for folks in Poland, and clicking the link gives me a message “you’re not allowed to view this content”, which is pretty mean if you asked me.

The link on this blog post to Corpse Party: Book of Shadows on the SEN web store just gives me a “page not available” error message. I also can not find it via search on SEN…

It is not listed under PSP games on the Vita store either.

But!… I found it via the search function in the Vita store, by browsing the store with my Vita.
This will probably work in Poland as well. It seems to be the only way to buy the game currently.

If the game is not readily visible and available, how is XSEED going to sell it?! I, personally, enjoy getting niche games like this. And getting them in Europe usually involves dark blood sacrifice when the planets align once every decade. When one such game finally arrives it is buried so that no one can find it…

SCEE is once again showing themselves as horribly incompetent! Do the employees managing the store have any idea what they’re doing? Any idea at all? It takes real and deliberate effort to mess up this much time and time again unless you’re just incompetent – in which case you probably shouldn’t be handling a web store for a multinational corporation.

Jawad I doubt you’re reading comments on this blog post anymore, but just in case:

Why have ALL the dynamic themes stopped having trailers attached to them for the first 2 – 5 weeks of them being released? Sony appeared to insist that these dodgy Eastern Block scam artist upload an example of the themes before the store received a makeover…but now? Nothing.

I love dynamic themes. They’re a guilty pleasure of mine and I buy quite a lot. Or at least I used to. But recently I’ve been tricked into buying absolute rubbish because I’m buying them blind.

Perhaps this is a scam on Sony’s behalf and not Eastern Block con artists? Perhaps if the consumers could actually see what they were buying…they wouldn’t.

I guess if nothing changes, and this practice continues, we should assume this is in fact a scam between both parties?

PS:
Thanks for the Black Ops 2 themes, even though we have no idea what we’re buying due to NO example video(they could be static images with a little wisp of poorly animated smoke in the background for all we know).

But, at least over the past three years we’ve have ten game related dynamic themes now. That’s really impressive, for a game console.

You may wanna check just cause 2 dlc the black market chaos pack is free but all the stuff that’s in that pack like the sniper,hovercraft etc anyways separate there 34p each but together there free lmao its not a major amount lol just can’t believe how many mistakes have been made.

A few updates ago you mentioned to alexpsn that Crash Bash was still in Limbo,

Does this mean it’s a broken title i.e. never going to be released?

I ask as its been sooo long since this title has been requested(approx 3 years) and we have heard virtually nothing about whether its even in Q&A or how its doing. Could you please hint at least so we don’t have to get our hopes up about getting released.

I along with others really appreciate your hard work to try to get Crash Bash released and request you to hang in there and please keep trying.

Crash Bandicoot is the best thing that ever happened to the PS1 and sadly, he no longer exists as Activision has had the licence since 2008 and has done nothing with the franchise, so your our only hope.

Please get the last good crash bandicoot game on PSN.

Thank you Jawad for reading
